Whole genome analyses of breast tumors with polymorphic markers have detected nonrandom loss of heterozygosity on multiple chromosomes, providing clues to the locations of suspected tumor suppressor genes. Tumors are thought to initiate, progress, and metastasize as mutations accumulate in multiple growth-regulatory genes; thus, identification and characterization of these genes are critical to understanding and...
